But after the Rongqing Hall ended, Mrs. Wang asked Aunt Xue to sit in her room, and Baochai followed.
During the chat, they couldn't help but talk about Daiyu's ennoblement, which made Aunt Xue sigh with emotion.
A small title of fourth rank that cannot be inherited is nothing to the Jia family. After all, even Mrs. Wang, who has the lowest rank in the two houses, is still in the fourth rank.
But for the Xue family, it is very enviable. Because what the Xue family lacks is a person with a noble status to support them.
When the Xue family master was alive, although his title was low, he was still in the emperor's coffers and was considered "the emperor's man".
Today, Xue Pan is only registered in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Moreover, because the Xue family was weak, it was also squeezed out in the household department. Many things that the Xue family should purchase before were occupied by others.
In this regard, Xue Pan could only curse a few times behind his back, and Aunt Xue and her daughter could only watch, with no good solution.
In fact, if it weren't for the sake of the Jia family, it's a matter of debate whether Xue Pan's title of household department could be kept.
At this time, if either Xue Pan or Baochai can obtain a title, even the lowest one that cannot be passed down, Aunt Xue will wake up from her sleep with a smile.
The Xue family's wealth has been accumulated enough due to the efforts of several generations.
So Aunt Xue doesn't care too much about the palace's business being taken away by others. She is more concerned about whether she can hold on to the accumulation of generations of the Xue family.
Who knew that Mrs. Wang hesitated after hearing Aunt Xue's envious words. Seeing Aunt Xue's questioning, she said: "I think that the fact that Lin Yatou was able to obtain this holy scroll and be given a title was not entirely because of her father..."
When Mrs. Wang said this, Aunt Xue and Baochai were naturally curious and asked if there was any other inside story.
According to their understanding, the only thing that could make the emperor remember her was that she had an excellent father. This is also the reason why although everyone envied Daiyu before, they were not too surprised.
After all, she is Tanhualang's daughter.
Just like in later generations, if a doctor's daughter was admitted to Qingbei, although everyone would envy her, they would not find it strange. After all, they have that foundation.
Moreover, Wang Xifeng also said that it was indeed because of Lin Ruhai.
Mrs. Wang has been thinking about this issue since she was in Rongqing Hall. At this time, facing her closest and trusted sister, she did not hide it from her.
"One thing you don't know is that before her death, Lin Yatou's father promised Lin Yatou to Lian'er as his second wife..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Aunt Xue and Baochai's eyes widened and they looked at each other in shock.
Now that she had opened her mouth, Mrs. Wang might as well tell her sister and niece everything she knew about the incident.
Including Daiyu's status as "noble concubine", including Jia Lian's desire to marry Daiyu with proper etiquette.
Aunt Xue was silent, and so was Baochai.
After a while, Aunt Xue figured out the reason. Just as she was about to speak, she remembered something again and asked, "Does that child Baoyu know about this?"
Aunt Xue has been in Beijing for more than a year, and she is also very concerned about Jia Baoyu, her nephew. She could also see that Jia Baoyu and Daiyu had an unusual relationship since childhood. …
Mrs. Wang paused, "The old lady won't let this matter be made public for the time being. She said that Lin Yatou is still young and will wait a few years until her filial piety period has passed. So, as long as you know it, it is best to It’s best not to tell outsiders.”
Only then did Aunt Xue understand. She nodded and ignored this incident. In Aunt Xue's view, not to mention that Jia Baoyu and Daiyu are just children, whether they know the word "like" or not, even if they really like it, the matter of marriage is just the words of the matchmaker ordered by their parents.
Even if Jia Baoyu was unhappy when he found out, there was nothing he could do about it, and he could only make a small fuss.
So Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Sister told me this, and I understood.
My sister is right. Although I don't know what status Lin Yatou's father has in front of the saint, but he should not be able to obtain a title for Lin Yatou.
Otherwise, why didn't Yatou Lin ask for it from Yatou Lin when her father was still alive?
On the contrary, Brother Lian, since we came to Beijing, we have been hearing about how he has won the favor of the saint. Not only are he constantly assigned to carry out large and small errands, but now he has been granted the title of Marquis.
Therefore, if he really wants to find an identity for Girl Lin, it is really possible that he can do it! "
"Really, you think so too?"
Mrs. Wang suddenly became excited. She had been doubting it for a long time, but she just couldn't make up her mind. When I heard my sister thinking the same thing, I suddenly felt that we were inseparable.
Otherwise, why would Lin Ruhai have been dead for six or seven days, so why would Jia Lian just come into the palace and help Daiyu get the reward?
All this indicates that this matter is inseparable from Jia Lian.
Aunt Xue looked at Mrs. Wang's expression changes and guessed some of her sister's thoughts.
She hesitated for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "Sister, in my opinion, if a family wants to be truly prosperous and benefit the entire Jia clan, it must be the family of their man.
Brother Lian's current momentum, doesn't it correspond to the old saying, a dragon soaring into the sky, soaring into the sky?
Although he is not his sister's son, what is rare is that he is very close to his family, and he is also very respectful and friendly to his brother-in-law and Baoyu.
Having such a son in the family is a good thing that many families would never dream of envying.
Baoyu is naturally a very noble person. His father is an official in the court, and his sister is a concubine in the palace. There are not many people in the world who are more noble than him.
However, if sister wants Baoyu to live a peaceful and prosperous life, then that is naturally enough.
But if you want him to work hard outside like Brother Lian, I'm afraid he doesn't like doing this kind of thing very much. Even if it is his sister and brother-in-law, it will not be difficult for him to find an official position in the future, but he must be willing to work hard.
Well now, brother Lian happens to have extremely high talent and luck in career economics. As long as Brother Lian continues to have such a prosperous official career, even if Baoyu is more lazy in the future, having such a cousin to take care of him will be enough to support his sister and brother-in-law.
This is also a relationship that others cannot envy.
Therefore, my sister should take advantage of the fact that the old lady is still here to let Baoyu and Brother Lian get closer to each other. In the future, it will be good for both of them...
Look at me, I'm too talkative. It's better that my sister doesn't get offended. "
That is to say, the two sisters had a good relationship since childhood, so Aunt Xue dared to insinuate Mrs. Wang on this sensitive topic.
Of course she knew that in her heart, Mrs. Wang did not want Jia Lian to succeed. Because Jia Lian is successful, it means that she, Jia Zheng and everyone in the second house must move out of the Duke's Mansion and live alone after the death of Mrs. Jia's mother.
She understands human nature.
However, if Jia Lian only has some potential, suppression may be useful.
But the current situation is that Jia Lian is not just a little bit promising, he is almost going to heaven!
Not only can he wear his entire identity as a marquis, but he can also give his second wife a baroness to serve as his assistant. Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Seeing that her sister seemed to be regaining consciousness, Aunt Xue naturally gave her some advice.
Because of Mrs. Wang's relationship, the Xue family was able to withdraw from Jinling and come to Beijing to hide in peace, so she didn't want Mrs. Wang to fight "gods" like Jia Lian, because they would most likely fail.
If her sister, Mrs. Wang, loses, she will have no choice but to leave the Jia family and go to her brother Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng is also a military attache and is away from home all year round. She didn't believe that her sister-in-law could treat their family sincerely like her own sister.
Mrs. Wang understood Aunt Xue's intention just by looking at Aunt Xue's cautious but meaningful words.
She took Aunt Xue's hand, patted it, and let out a long breath in her heart.
She was really frightened by the fact that Daiyu was granted the title of Lord of the Countryside.
In the past, because I watched Jia Lian grow up, I was used to the contempt for Jia Lian in my heart.
Although Jia Lian later performed many miracles, she was able to reduce her fear on the grounds that she was just relying on the light of her ancestors.
However, what happened with Jia Baoyu in Shuiyue Temple made her see that Jia Lian had no ill intentions towards Jia Baoyu, which made her want to ease the relationship with Jia Lian.
But she just wanted everyone to feel better, but she didn't really give in.
That's right, she is the biological mother of the imperial concubine. How is it possible to make her admit defeat?
But to this day, because Jia Lian likes Daiyu, he is able to overcome the difficulties that Lin Ruhai, Jia Mu, etc. think are impossible to overcome in her opinion, and get Daiyu. Moreover, he can also get a title for Daiyu. Perhaps the purpose is just to enable him to marry Daiyu openly and with a generous gift?
What kind of sacred scrolls and skills can this be accomplished?
No wonder, every time she went to the palace to visit Yuanchun, Yuanchun would ask about Jia Lian, and asked her to have a good relationship with Jia Lian, openly or secretly.
Now her sister, who has been closest to her since she was a child, also advises her that this world is ultimately guided, what else can she lie to herself about?
Yuanchun is noble, this is undeniable. Because even if Jia Lian meets Yuan Chun, he still needs to bow first.
If it is a formal occasion, you may even need to kneel down.
However, what Yuanchun can bring to the family, apart from the immeasurable value of honor, is also to reward the family with some palace gifts every year. That's all.
On the contrary, in order to build a palace for her, the family almost spent all their money...
Looking at Jia Lian again, how many years has it been since the uprising? Everyone below said that the belongings in Sister Feng’s house could not be piled up! …
Not to mention, he even got a title from someone, and to a little girl?
He can get a female title for Lin Yatou, right? If he is willing, he can also get one for Baoyu in the future...
It must be said that Mrs. Wang's thinking is still very active.
Just because of Daiyu's incident, I can immediately think of the issues I care about most.
Jia Baoyu lacked nothing but an official position! This was also the reason why she and Jia Zheng were able to unite in forcing Jia Baoyu to study.
It's too difficult to get a title. It's easier to get an official position through the imperial examination. After all, Jia Zheng did not have the decency of the old prince to wait until his death and ask the emperor to reward him with a serious official status.
This is the only option when there is no hope for a title.
Now I suddenly discovered that the title does not seem to be so high and unattainable!
Even Miss Lin can get one of her precious jade, why not?
Although she also knew that it was more difficult to get a title for Jia Baoyu than to get one for Daiyu. But, there’s always a chance, right?
It just so happened that because Jia Lian became more and more powerful, she often couldn't sleep well and occasionally had nightmares!
It's time to give yourself a step up...
Mrs. Wang is also a wealthy and honorable woman. She also likes wealth and does not like taking risks.
As long as Jia Lian can accommodate their mother and son, why must she go against Jia Lian?
If you think about it carefully, the conflict of interests with Jia Lian is no longer as sharp as it was before. The palace built by the imperial edict must belong to Lian'er. As for the two families' property being distributed to them in the hands of the Duke, Jia Lian would not care too much with his current ability.
At worst, they will suffer some losses and the two houses will be divided equally. Anyway, apart from the imperial government, all the assets of the Rongguo Mansion are worth hundreds of thousands of taels.
In the past, she was afraid that Jia Lian would take them all back, but now she is not so worried.
Maybe Baoyu's father was right, and being gentle to Lian'er was the right way to go.
The only thing that worries her is that Lian'er will find out about Yang's incident in the future, and she has some cause and effect...
Not afraid either.
For one thing, she just moved her mouth and didn't do any hands or feet. Secondly, Yang has been dead for two years, so the incident will probably never be revealed again, let alone her.
After thinking about this, Mrs. Wang felt relaxed and held her sister in her arms for a long time before giving up.
